Etymology 1

[edit]
Kanji in this term
じゃく > ざく
Grade: 1
る > ろ
Hyōgai
irregular
Alternative spelling
柘榴

From Middle Chinese 石榴 (MC dzyek ljuw, literally “stone + pomegranate”). Compare modern Wu reading zaq lieu, Hakka sa̍k-liù.

The zakuro reading is irregular. This may represent a shift in pronunciation from an older borrowing: compare the expected goon reading jakuru. Alternatively, this reading may reflect an ancient sound borrowing, indicating the Zagros Mountains of modern-day Iran, where the pomegranate was originally cultivated.[1]

The spelling 柘榴 is attested in 747 CE.[2] The zakuro reading is attested to at least the late 900s in the 古今和歌六帖 (Kokin Waka Rokujō, Six Volumes of Waka Poetry of Ancient and Modern Times).[2]

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

(ざく)() or 石榴(ザクロ) (zakuro

  1. [from 747] pomegranate
Usage notes

Alternative spelling
若榴

From Middle Chinese 石榴 (MC dzyek ljuw, literally “stone + pomegranate”). Uses the regular goon reading of jaku for the first character, and the irregular ro reading for the second character instead of the expected goon reading of ru.
